Answer 4

aside from the regular carrot and celerey sticks.... you could try a healthy dip (avacado dip, bean dip, etc.) or salsa (like bean and fruit salsa- black and kidney beans, diced tomatoes, onions, and mangoes, and a little bit of garlic and salt; regular tomato salsa, etc.) with chips... or healthy nachos- beans, nacho cheese, lettuce, olives, tomatoes, and whatever else they are willing to try... or how about spinach and cheesh quesadillas... what about mini bagel pizzas?

there is also the traditional fruit salad.... what about banana or strawberries dipped in chocolate? or how about cheesecake with berries on the side?

you could also try cheese-stuffed mushrooms- some kids like them, some dont... also try cheese-stuffed cherry tomatoes... there are also lots of bakes vegetarian goods- blueberry muffins, banana bread, carrot cake, gingerbread, etc.

what about crackers with sliced cheese? i also like these with a spinach/cream cheese topping and maybe cucumber or tomato slices... or maybe pita bread with hummus and favorite veggies- i like tomatoes, onions, and chopped spinach... and lastly, berries with frozen yogurt...

i hope this helps!

Answer 6

When I was a kid I always liked snacks that I could assemble myself...Like yogurt with fruit or granola that I could put in myself.  

There is always a "lunchables" type snack.  They sell faux turkey lunch meat at most big grocery stores.  You can cut it into little squares and to the same with some cheese if you they are a lacto.  If not you could use soy cheese.  Then you can make a plate with whole wheat crackers, the "meat" and cheese, and maybe mustard.

I happen to like nachos.  I use melted soy cheese, tortilla chips, peppers and "better than sour cream" by Tofutti.  Some kids would like it and some wouldn't.  You can change the ingredients if that will help.

You could also cut up vegetables and lay them out on a plate to look like something your child likes...perhaps a face.  I cut up fruit or vegetables and allow my kids to use them as building materials on their plate.  They eat while they are playing until they run out of food:)  It is a good, healthy was to kill time.

Letting the child make their own pizzas with English muffins or bagels is also really fun for them.  You just lay out the bread, sauce, meatless pepperoni, regular or soy cheese, and any veggies they may like.

Good luck!!!

Answer 7

celery and peanut butter was my fave as a kid.  Also carrots and hummus.  How about just some fresh fruit?

Answer 8

If you like cooking then you could make all kinds of different hummus including making your own chickpeas for the hummus (it's easy, rinse dried beans, making sure there's no rocks or other foreign matter, cover each cup of beans with 3 cups of water, add a teaspoon of salt per cup of beans, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer, cover and cook till al dente tender - about 90 minutes, you can also add some onion and/or garlic for more flavor, then divide into serving sizes with broth and freeze or refrigerate -- good for about 3 days... some say to soak overnight or quick soak and discard the waters adding fresh but it's just not needed and doesn't really help with gas or flavor but does destroy and toss nutrients; the bean broth is great for adding to other things such as soups).

Then you can use the chickpeas for all sorts of recipes from a chickpea salad pita sandwich (chickpeas, tahini, parsley, romaine or other lettuce, chopped onion, red pepper, chili sauce to taste -- a half is a great snack) to all kinds of hummus including standard, roasted red pepper, garlic, olive, pesto, lemon artichoke, even pumpkin (a favorite of mine), and more. Hummus can be put on bread (top with cucumber slices, chopped red pepper, diced onion), in roll-up sandwiches with veggies on a tortilla, eaten with tabouli and falafel, or with veggies such as cauliflower (yummy roasted).

Or you could make your own falafel. :)

There's also tabouli which can also be made with quinoa instead of bulgur (makes it gluten-free too).
